U.S. 2 3/4 inch Howitzer Carriage

• Also known as a 3-Pounder
• Designed to hold either 1st or 2nd Model Daniel King Howitzer. The carriage is constructed of premium white oak and hand-smithed irons. We constructed this carriage using empirical evidence and period first hand eyewitness accounts as described in military journals and correspondence with recommendations and contributions from the Smithsonian. The basis for our plans we credit to Don H. Berkebile, a curator at the Smithsonian and contributing member of the Company of Military Historians. Using his recommendations, we modified his plans, which were a combined and reduced version of the British 8” Howitzer carriage of Muller’s 1780 description and the French Light One-pounder Carriage of Valliere’s. The carriage that Mr. Berkebile built is now at the museum at Fort Necessity.
• Special thanks to Joe Thatcher of the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; Paul Ackerman and Alan Aimone of West Point; Mr. Les Jensen and Mr. Marc Sammis of the Center of Military History, Washington, D.C., without whom this project could not have been completed.
